. Be it known that I, PETEn'I-IEN'RY Kdwsm; a citizen of the Unitedstates, residing at New Britain, in the .cOiintfofiHa'rtford and Stateof Connecticut,"have'invented certain new and useful Improvementsin NailSets, of which the following i'sf'aspe'ciffica t O r..- '1t:l

My invention! relates'to improvements in nail sets, of the form {havingin combination a nail set proper and a'handle in efi set relationthereto and generally at'right angles thereto, and also having*usuallyfasecond nail set proper at the end of the'handle that is remote.from the. first named nail set proper, that" is to "sayiha'v'ing a nailset proper at each end of a handle, the latter being of bar-like form,and the object of my improvement is to provide an improved form for thehandle in the form of cooperating recesses on the opposite sides forfacilitating holding the device under conditions of use, and also toimprove the shank.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improvednail set in the position for use, and including a representation of ahand in substantially the proper holding position.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the same.

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

Figure 4c is a perspective view.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of a modified form of structure.

Figure 6 is a transverse sectional view of the handle structure of theform shownin Fig. 5.

Figure 7 is a transverse sectional view of one of the bitstructuresshowing the longitudinal grooves, with the cutting edges at the border.

My improved nail set comprises an elongated bar-like handle 10 that isgenerally of circular form of cross-section and has connected to each ofthe two ends a nail set proper llthat may be of substantially the sameform as nail sets in common use, and are positioned at a right angle tothe said handle 10.

The handle 10 is relatively swelled or of enlarged form at the middleand at the ends terminates in the form of a reduced and tapered shank 12that merges with the structure of the nail set proper 11.

The individual nail sets proper 11 have an enlarged butt or head 13 atthe upper end "with the, shank-"12* ast-11 m; a P bbot i ilig tly abovethe "j each ca e and the bjody portion is relativel felongatedandsupports the bi 'rt n f Piet mete e i e -'end.*- v j Thetwofbitportien ably, as shown, positioned in difiere'nt axial verticalposition with eminent- 10 heri- Zdfitrl the other individual nail "set 11 ;will bein ahorrzontal position." f

emerit toprovid'e I fiiid it a u'seful "'mprov in the structure of thehandle a wafer-like structure 15 or disc that serves as an auxiliaryhandle and is positioned in the plane of the individual nail set 11 thatis in active use, being adapted to be grasped by a finger and the thumbon opposite sides and engaged with the opposite faces 16.

. While said opposite, contact faces 16 may be flat, I prefer to havethem hollowed or dished to facilitate the holding by squeezing betweenthe fingerand thumb, as mentioned.

As to the position along the handle 10,'the auxiliary handle 15 may beremote from the middle relatively to the particular individual nail set11 with which it cooperates, there being thus two auxiliary handles 15,one for each individual nail set 11, positioned on opposite sides of themiddle.

As a modification the auxiliary handle 15 may be positioned at themiddle only, as shown in Fig. 5.

In this form there are two sets of contact faces 16 arranged at rightangles one to the other, the auxiliary handle structure 15 being in theform of a symmetrical, four sided structure. v 7

Also, the two shank structures 12 are rel atively elongated.

The bit structures 14 are appreciably elongated and, as shown, areprovided with a set of longitudinal grooves 17 or flutes that extendsubstantially the entire length of the body portion and which grooves orflutes 17 are bordered by relatively pronounced cutting edges 18.

Also, the bit structures are tapered from the tip or contacting end 19inwardly.

The particular bit structures described are thus well adapted for use insetting hinges and butts, for marking and gouging out the roper and awhale illefeiwilifr, 3f
